Pokémon: The Neo Genesis™ set has two
new types of Pokémon cards: Darkness (
This
sequence has one new step. Before you do anything else (even
before you announce which attack you're using), if your
opponent's Active Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon,
flip a coin to see if your attack does nothing. For example,
say Charmander is your Active Pokémon and you want to
use its Ember attack. If your opponent's Active
Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon and you get tails on
the Baby Pokémon flip, you don't discard Energy cards
from Charmander to use Ember, because you won't even get to
the step in which you discard Energy.
Announce
which attack your Active Pokémon is using. Make sure
your Pokémon has enough Energy cards attached to it
to use the attack.
If
necessary, make any choices the attack requires you to make.
(For example, Natu's Telekinesis attack says "Choose 1 of
your opponent's Pokémon." So you choose now.)
If
necessary, do anything the attack requires you to do in
order to use it. (For example, discard Energy cards, as in
Flaaffy's Discharge attack, which makes you discard all
Energy cards attached to Flaaffy in order to use it.)
If
necessary, apply any effects that might alter or cancel the
attack. (For example, if your Pokémon was hit last
turn by Lv. 35 Quilava's Smokescreen attack, that attack
said that if you tried to attack with that Pokémon
during your next turn, you should flip a coin. If tails,
your Pokémon's attack does nothing.)
If
your Active Pokémon is Confused, check now to see if
the attack fails.
Do
whatever the attack says. Do any damage first, then do any
other effects, and, finally, Knock Out any Pokémon
that have damage greater than or equal to their Hit
Points.
Start
with the base damage. This is the number written to the
right of the attack, or, if that number has an x, -, +, or ?
sign next to it, it's the amount of damage the attack text
tells you to do.
Figuring
out the damage has one new step. That's figuring out effects
of cards that affect the whole play area (like Sprout Tower,
which says "All damage done by 
Pokémon's attacks is reduced by 30"). This happens
after you figure out effects of Trainer cards attached to
the attacking Pokémon, but before you figure out
effects of Trainer cards attached to the Defending
Pokémon.
Apply
any relevant effects resulting from the Defending
Pokémon's last attack (for example, Base Set 2 Onix's
Harden) or any relevant Pokémon Powers.
For
each 10 damage the attack ends up doing, put 1 damage
counter on the Defending Pokémon. (If at this point
the damage done turns out to be less than 0, don't do
anything.)
Now that damage has been done, if the attack does anything
other than damage, do all of that.
a)
Put damage counters on any Poisoned Pokémon.
your
Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool attached to it and
that Pokémon Tool does something between turns, you
can use the Pokémon Tool at any time you want between
turns.
